That is what I did when I first ran into that .. I removed the ":"
so it does not effect scripts.
There is nothing I can do for those who have the .cst for the sysop scripts that contain that till they ask for a new one ... where fixes were done.
Something about script users , they do not report bugs or ask for updates ...
They wait till someone passes the new one to them and continue to remain
quit if they find bugs for the most part
sad really.
